> FastDateParser#parse(String,ParsePosition) does not throw ParseException if the input cannot be matched.
> If the parse succeeds, the ParsePosition is updated to the index of the next character after the last one used, and the error index is left as -1.
> If the parse fails, at present the ParsePosition is not updated at all, unlike SimpleDateFormat which is able to set the error Index to the location where the error occurr.
> It does not appear to be possible to determine the error location because the matching against the format string is all or nothing.
> This means that a successful parse can only be detected by checking whether the ParsePosition has been updated.
> This needs to be documented, and some unit tests added.
